TW: VIOLENCE
The paladin reached out for his sword and with a powerful swing, he stabbed the dragon in the chest, causing it to elicit a loud roar which echoed across the kingdom. The paladin tightened his grip on the sword, sinking deeper and deeper into the dragon's chest.
Out of sheer pain and frustration, the dragon swiped the paladin with its' tail, making him tumble across the bloodied battlefield. The paladin let out a groan as he stood up, holding his arm in which was injured due to the impact of the fall. But he wasn't going to give up yet, he needed this for his people. So, he stood on one knee, holding his thigh for support as he took a deep breath, "If I die, I will die as someone who will be remembered by my people" he muttered, his voice barely a whisper.
He sprinted, the pain burning in his limbs as he ran. But the dragon struck him down with his claw, slamming him on the ground, leaving him in agony and in extreme exhaustion. The dragon let out a deep chuckle as he stared down at the paladin, seeing how vulnrable he looked. "What a foolish move, you really think you would be able to eliminate me? Pathetic." it regarded, but got interrupted with a sharp pain in its' chest. It looked down to see blood dripping out, and the paladin with a sword.
The beast let out a monstrous, painful roar as other guards came to help eliminate the dragon. Two guards helped pick the paladin up, holding either side of him. "Sir! You've been injured heavily, are you sure you can continue?!" one guard queried, concern filling his expression. "If it means to finally see my worst nightmare die in my arms, then the pain is worth continuing." he said with a rumble in his throat, watching the other guards try to eliminate the dragon. "MY DESTINY WILL NOT END IN VAIN." the dragon yelled out with a sore voice, a strong pulse of fire spurring from their breath. The drake flew high up in the air, trying to get a headstart before attacking.
"Vengeance will be mine... finally..." It whispered before swooping down in an attempt to attack the guards along with the paladin, only to be met with multiple arrows piercing its' skin, one arrow went straight through its neck, causing him to breathe in sharply. The beast fell to the ground, weak and blood running down its' mouth. "...I will not perish to a mere mortal... But if I do... Mark my words, when I reborn, I will have my vengeance, your blood will end in my hands. This will not be my end.." it breathed out, its voice strained.
The paladin walked up to the dragon, looking down at it with a pure victory written in his expression "I'm afraid it is." He said before beheading the beast, a look of relief washing over him as he saw the head of the beast, his worst nightmare, dead in his hands. "And it forever will be..." He whispered, a gleam of contentment and bravery in his eyes as he smiled. The guards let out multiple cheers, applauding his victory. One of the maids came out, patting the shoulder of the paladin, "Sir..." she uttered out, her voice quiet. "Hm? What is it?" he said, turning around to look at her with nervousness and curiosity filling his expression.
"Your wife has a surprise for you."
"Really?"
"Come with me."
He obliged, following the maid into his quarters. The maid opened the door, gesturing to his wife laying bed, tired and with a baby thing in her hands. Surprised and happy, the paladin knelt down in front of the bed, a tear starting to form on his face as he looked at his wife. The doctor smiled softly, packing up his things, "It's a healthy boy.." he said, the smile on his face growing wider and warmer. The wife looked up at her husband, cradling the baby in her arms gently, "...Would you like to see your child?" she said, her voice exhausted and shaky. The knight nodded as he carried his son gently, hearing the coos of the child.
"Hello, my son..." he whispered, cradling his newborn child in his arms slowly. The baby cooed softly as it started to open its eyes, making little noises. The smile on the paladin's face dropped as he looked into the eyes of his son, his expression contorting to one of pure dread, of course, the baby's eyes were gold and slitted, just like the monster's.
Maybe the dragon was right.
But what will he risk ?
Just to prevent this nightmare from restarting?

You, a heroic paladin have successfully slain a fearsome dragon. But the dragon warns you that death is but a door, and dragons don’t die, they reincarnate. You paid it no mind….until your son was born with golden, slitted eyes.
